A must Do
This is an amazing experience. The food was outstanding and everybody just sat so relaxed. Watching and taking pics of the sunset.

Exceptional value for money
What a great cruise this was. We were expecting very little from the included “snacks” - we each received a grazing platter that would easily feed 2-3 people! Everything about this cruise was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Lovely cruise
Fantastic boat cruise, very relaxing, delicious platters. Staff were lively. Just need to change the music that was playing all the cruise, it was terrible,

Superb Sunset & Moonrise. Special dietary needs taken seriously and well catered for.
More and more hospitality venues and tourism operators are taking the care and the extra step to understand and ensure guests' dietary needs are taken into consideration. Having a severe food allergy (not an intolerance or lifestyle food choice) it was pleasing to be greeted by the Captain of the MV Charles Darwin who personally recognised the important of getting this right. With peace of mind, were were treated to a wonderful evening with a pearler of a sunset and a full moon rising over Darwin. Attentive staff and a relaxed setting made the experience memorable. Only one suggestion - the music was conducive to the setting but a bit on the loud side over dinner.
Operator response

We hope to welcome you back for another memorable evening soon!
